Happy Canada Day! I know you’re all excited to celebrate the big 150 (unless you understand that the Indigenous people who have been using this land long before Europeans showed up are still being disenfranchised and ignored- so maybe you’re excited to protest it), but either way, before all of that gets underway, some news. Here are all of the environmental news stories that caught our attention this week- let’s dive in! Continue reading →

Welcome back to the Weekly Round Up! I hope you had a good week. Things are finally starting to get back to normal here at Earth|Unfiltered, after my shitty month of no internet, but unfortunately it’s anything but business as usual in the rest of the world- or at least anytime Trump and his government comes near any environmental issues. This week we had lots of talk about the Paris Agreement, turkey vomit, and giant Australian turekys. So without further ado, let’s dive in! Continue reading →

Hi again. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but now that I’ve got internet, I’m back here on a Saturday to bother you with all of the environmental news I found interesting this week. There was a lot that went on this week, what with it being World Environment Day on Monday, Canadian Environment Week, and World Oceans Day on Thursday. Outside of all of that, there were ancient birds, Macron trolling Trump, and whales in NYC. So let’s dive in! Continue reading →

What?!?!?!? A new Weekly Round Up? But we haven’t had one of these in weeks??? After dropping the ball for a few weeks, it’s back baby, in all its glory. I’ve scoured the internet and grabbed for you a group of environmental news stories that I think you’ll enjoy. I’m talking fish eyeball parasites, CRISPR-HIV research, and a pretty damn cool cuttlefish battle. So let’s dive in! Continue reading →

Welcome back to the Weekly Round Up! I don’t really have much to say this week as an introduction. I wish the worst thing happening right now would be the fact that the Blue Jays have gone 1 and 9 to start the season. Unfortunately, it seems like the whole world has gone insane. I’m going to try and keep doing my thing though, so here’s you’re weekly dose of environmental news. This week we had spiders, the beginning of life on earth, and spiders. Seriously, there was more spider news than usual this week. So let’s dive in. Continue reading →

Welcome back to the Weekly Round Up! This week was actually a pretty good week. Sure, Trump issued a permit for the Keystone XL, coral reefs are in the shitter essentially globally, and Shell’s doing some real shady shit in Nigeria- but, scientists have reversed some of the signs of ageing in mice, plants can learn from environmental cues, and the dinosaur family tree might get a complete face-lift. So let’s dive in! Continue reading →

Welcome back to the Weekly Round Up! A bunch of stuff happened this week- like a gutting of the EPA and the development of a new raindrop-to-energy solar panel. So let’s just dive right in! Continue reading →

I’m so conflicted over this week. Look, there were some really great stuff that happened this week, and I should be ecstatic. The VW emissions scandal is finally coming to a close, we might have a cure for face cancer in Tasmanian devils, and- drumroll please– Shell is divesting from the oilsands!!!!! Unfortunately, the WHO released a real terrifying report, and Scott Pruitt is an absolute moron, definitely setting up some hard times for the environment in the states. So yeah, it’s been a week- let’s dive in!Continue reading →

Welcome back to the Weekly Round Up! If this is your first time here, it’s nice to meet you! Grab a seat, get comfortable, settle in- cause it’s been an interesting week. We’ve got some shitty stuff- like more microplastics in our oceans than imaginable and an end to the on ground protests against the DAPL- but also some really great stuff- like California moving to save the environment from Trump and some bee research that is seriously cool. Honestly, the bee research is real fascinating. So without further ado, let’s dive in! Continue reading →

Welcome back to the Weekly Round Up! There was a ton of stuff that wen ton this week- like Indian science trains, no more puppy mills in San Francisco, and incredibly ancient microbes. So without further ado, let’s dive right in! Continue reading →

Welcome back to the Weekly Round Up. Not too much happened this week, but there was still some pretty crazy stuff. Europe might be suing the UK, Attenborough is coming to Snapchat, and dogs know how you treat people. Let’s dive in. Continue reading →

Hey all, what’s up? Cool; very interesting; you don’t say. Well folks, it’s good to see you all, sorry I’m a little late with this, but hey, that’s just the way it is. So, I’mma dive in. We live in a crazy world, and here’s the crazy (absolutely shitty) things that happened this week. Continue reading →

Holy shit this week was a mess. Trump just can’t seem to quit being an all around awful human being, and because of it, the US is looking pretty broken right now. It does explain all the rain we’ve been getting here though- it should be snowing, but since we live up above a giant flaming pile of refuse, it’s just too hot. I honestly don’t know how to respond to any of it- it’s pretty shocking, disgusting, mindboggling, scary- so I’m just going to try and run things as per usual. Things aren’t as per usual, things are anything but usual, but I need this to run the same. So I know there is bigger news out there, I get that, but this news here will be the same as usual. So, here’s the environmental news that caught my attention this week. Continue reading →

We’re back with another weekly roundup and holy chipotle has it been a crazy week! A lot has changed in our world and we want to make sure you guys are kept up to date with what’s going on with our environment. While some may be furiously stocking their underground bunkers for the impending apocalypse, not all of our stories from this week are bad news. However there are still so many issues out there that demand our attention! So here’s our bag of news trail-mix! Continue reading →

Holy shit do I have a good Round Up for you all this week. First off, things were mostly pretty positive (ignoring that fact that ring-tailed lemurs are screwed and Japan is losing coral reef like nobody’s business), and secondly there were some amazing stories. Seriously, there’s footage of a monkey and a deer trying to get it on, and that’s not even this week’s most amazing story- #DoesItFart takes the cake easily. So this week we’ve got farting animals, a beaver related gift for Canada’s 150th, and interspecies sex. Truly though, the #DoesItFart spreadsheet should be all you care about. Let’s dive in! Continue reading →

Welcome to 2017’s first Weekly Round Up (yaaaaaaaaaaaay!). Similarly to the Round Ups in 2016, we’re going to be bringing you all of the past week’s environmental news that turned our heads. AKA, we’re keeping the exact same format as last year- woohoo new year, new you! Anyways, this week there was some dire news about our oceans, walruses playing with seabirds, and awful air in London. So let’s dive in! Continue reading →

As I’m sure many of you have heard, solar energy is now cheaper than fossil fuels to produce. As we now move forward into 2017 and beyond, it’s becoming more and more likely that solar energy will pave the way into a bright, clean future. And it’s not just us crazy environmentalists saying this- it seems like everyone has caught on. So while the US’s environmental future is fairly uncertain right now (or certainly awful), what I’d like to do is remind you all that America is just one country, and across the globe, 2017 might be the year solar power really starts to take over. Continue reading →

Happy New Years Eve! It’s the end of 2016, and oddly enough we’re ending on a Round Up. What I could do in this situation, if forethought was a strong suit of mine, is do a 2016 Round Up for you all. Unfortunately, that is not a skill I have (plus, the internet is already chock full of 2016 lists, and I don’t want to talk about Harambe ever again). So instead, here’s what happened this week. We’ve got China banning the ivory trade, a happy elephant, and catty bats. So let’s dive in! Continue reading →

Hey all! It’s been a while since the last Weekly Round Up, but we’re back in full force this week. I’ve scoured the internet over the past seven days to find the best of the best/the stories that I find interesting, and I’ve got them all collected here for you right now! We’ve got incredibly old bacteria, solar roads, and intelligent “brainless” slime. Here are the headlines that turned our heads this. Continue reading →

Miss us yesterday??? We’ve been super busy here at Earth|Unfiltered, so some things may have fallen through the cracks. But fear not, we are back today, with all of this week’s environmental news that turned our heads- or really just my head, because I’m the one writing this… I HAVE ALL THE POWER! Anyways, this week there were light tasting animals, helpful Arctic poop, a dubious smog tower, and the end of neonics in Canada?!?!? So let’s dive in! Continue reading →

Welcome back to the Weekly Round Up, where we’ve decided to adopt the new headlines format (Yaaaaay!). You’ve all spoken over the last few weeks, so it’s been decided that sharing the headlines of the articles that caught our attention over the week, is the best way to go. This week had a lot of stuff. Unfortunately, it’s mostly just people complaining about what a Trump presidency will mean for the environment (it’s bad) and how he’s going to put the worst people in charge of running environmental policies (not a surprise at all). So we’re not including any of that. We’ve talked about it before, the internet won’t stop talking about it now, and we would just be shouting into the void. So instead, here’s the rest of the news that turned our heads this week. Let’s dive in! Continue reading →

Good morning everybody. How’s it going? I hope all is well, and that you are still sane after this crazy week. I don’t know about you guys, but this week absolutely felt like a week. Yep, there were definitely seven whole days in this one. All that being said, I’m doing this fairly last minute again… sorry. So once again, here are the headlines that turned our heads here at Earth|Unfiltered. There were giant mystery snowballs, squirrel leprosy, and Cecil the Lion. Let’s dive in! Continue reading →
